Taken from Bicycle Specialties web site:"Bicycle Specialties was founded by
Mike Barry in 1990 following the closing of Bicyclesport, a leading
downtown Toronto store he established in 1972. Mike has competed in
most branches of the sport. He has been active in several clubs and
founded the Toronto Randonneurs. His son Michael now races as a
professional with the Saturn team."

"Tom Hinton has toured extensively. He's also a keen randonneur--an
endurance tourist. Tom has earned both his Super Randonneur medal
and participated in the king of all randonnées: the 1,200 km.Paris-Brest-Paris."
